People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they're "stupid" and woke

They think Gas is too expensive because of the red take and lack of drilling on federal lands (lack of new permits at least) I don't care much about EVS either. I mean, they just take pollution from one place to another and they are better on the environment, but you have drive it for a few years for them to be better on the environment. They are not going to solve climate change.
Public Transit is severely lacking, we need more trains and bicycle paths. Buses, yeah sure, why not. They are going to be diesel busses because Electronic busses don't make that much sense either.
Yeah I'm gonna be anti drilling in public lands and national parks on pretty much every front there.
And let's remember that just even though a solution isn't perfect, it doesn't mean it's a bad solution. EVs are not perfect. But they're better than continuing to burn fossil fuels. Then if something still better comes along we can upgrade again. Gas powered cars were not the first form of transit and EVs won't be the last form.
I don't pretend to know all the answers, but don't you think scalability is a problem? I mean, for the EVS. I love EVS alright, but I don't think they are as scalable as we think they are. (Talking about mining minerals electricity and other stuff necessary for EVS here)
